Sumia     It's the afternoon at the WMAT stadium, Sumia's outside of the large arena with a brush in hand and spear at her side. Taking the brush to her pegasus, she gives a soft smile and a brief nod. "No matter what, we'll have a good time. She did help out back when that village was getting overran by Risen." she nods, "But still, we aren't going to take it easy are we?" the Pegasus gives a snort of agreement and Sumia smiles, packing up the brush then mounting up. "Shall we?"

    A kick off and she takes to the air, encircling the Stadium from atop her winged steed, looking down at the square platform below. "It's now or never. Landon might be in the audience..." she lets out a soft sigh, "He's not Chrom but he's definately a close second." a firm nod and she dives down, only to pull up just before hooves touch stone. She's festooned the saddle with ribbon and her signature lance has feathers at the end of it. "Good day, noble people!" she greets the audience, "I, Sumia of the Knight Sister's of Ylisse, will show you the majestic spear!" and with a couple loud clops, the pegasus lands. "Now where's Sanary...?"
Sanary Rondel      Medic versus medic... That's definitely not the sort of fight Sanary's used to. She's more used to charging at things much bigger than her, but today will be different. Today, she'll be fighting someone from her own world!

     She's a little nervous to say the least. Someone that might already know how she's going to fight, her strengths, her weaknesses... But that's not going to stop her from defending her honor!

     After psyching herself up with a bag of pre-fight street food, Sanary arrives in the arena proper, decked out in the fuzzy mobility-boosting and heat-retaining Lagombi armor. Her practically-trademark gunaxe rests against her shoulder, the little blue square dangling from the end while the shield from the Daora's Casca remains strapped to her back. She looks about as ready as she'll ever be, flashing Sumia a confident grin upon spotting her.

     Time to make an entrance. "I, Sanary Rondel of the..." There's a long pause. "... Of Plegia will show you the pride of pig farmers everywhere!"

     Was that really the best thing she could think of? Apparently. "Ready, Sumia? Let's make this a good one!"
Bahu Bahu was quite honestly happy to just be in the stadium today, as this was the first time he'd actually been around during one of these battles. What a stroke of luck when he happened to be within earshot of some of the event runners complaining that, at the last minute, they needed an announcer for the match.

Fast Forward about 15 minutes later, and the little whelp is now holding a multi-tuned microphone in his small hands. He hops up on to the stage and after trying in vain to get the crowd's attention, he fires a single arcane firework into the air to do the job. He stands dramatically as the spell ends just as quickly as it begun. He walks between the two women and looks up at them both before speaking.

"Ladies and...Ladies, I believe we are ready to start, right? My name is Bahu and I'll be announcing tonight's match. In ONE corner we have Sumia, pegasus knight and spear wielder extraordinare!"

Bahu dramatically points at her before switching around to point to Sanary.

"In the OTHER corner, we have Sanary, a strong-woman with a peculiar axe. This is going to be a battle of polearms to see WHO is the TRUE master of their craft. NOW! No more interruptions! Let's get ready to RUMMMBLLLEEEEE!"

Bahu gives his best shot at the iconic line before immediately skidaddling off of the stage and out of the way of the two dangerous ladies.

"Fight!"
Sumia     Sumia scratches her ear gently, the little radio and microphone tuned into the Union's channels and the voices of people supporting her. She gives a brief look at Sanary and gives a bit of a smile. "Remember, smile for the people." with the pegasus' wings flaring out, she takes to the sky and readies the spear, the twin bladed weapon she's grown accustomed to using.

    It only takes a brief moment when she points towards Sanary that the armored winged steed dives down at her, spear extended to make a passing by stab towards Sanary's arm! "Remember, we can heal each other after this! Go all out you Plegian dog!" this is spite filled after hearing Plegia come from Sanary's own words but... "Let's go!"
Sanary Rondel      "Smile, smile... Right." Sanary laughs and shows the crowd a bright grin as she holds her arms out, not-so-subtly waving at them like one of those wrestlers she's seen on TV. She doesn't showboat for too long, at least, and the healer's quick to ready her shield once Sumia's up in the air.

     "Understood. These people paid for a show, so let's give 'em plenty of blood!" As the rider comes closer, Sanary readies herself to dodge that attack with the gunaxe in position to strike back. Even with the shield, she can't afford to get hit in this armor as much as she could with the other set considering how much lighter this one is!

     And then she gets hit. Even with the shield deflecting the brunt of the strike, the spear still manages to graze past her arm at a fairly painful angle. Sanary grits her teeth through the pain, the hand on her axe clenching tightly as she reassesses her strategy. Matching speed with speed probably won't work, considering that Sumia's capable of flying. Instead, she takes a broad swing at Sumia, trying to trade blows now that the Pegasus Knight is in range!
Bahu Bahu finds a nice neutral angle to sit so he could watch the fight properly and do his recently anointed job. "Ooooh! Pegasus knights can fly! That's awesome! Sumia takes to the air for a flying stab. Sanary tries to block but the strike is too hard and manages to graze her shoulder! We're already off to a stabbity start! How will Sanary return fire?"
Sumia     The axe clangs against her armor and sparks fly from it along with a few splats of blood, the blade biting the flesh underneath. Fortunately, her legs were the ones who took the axe slice as the Pegasus Knight flies up into the air once more, this time, using the knowledge of her opponent. She can't fly. Pulling out a small spear, a javelin, she gives a brief nod. "Alright, dear, let's go! Dive a bit to give the javeline more power."

    The Pegasus snorts once more and dives down rapidly as Sumia launches the smaller spear at Sanary, aiming for that shield this time, hoping to make it useless with the embedded weapon, of course, she's got more where this comes from as she makes another round and launches one more javelin. "Dodge this!"
Sanary Rondel      Sanary grins as the axe makes contact, albeit only hitting a fairly non-vital limb considering Sumia's mount. All she needs to do is do that several more times, and the fight's in the bag!

     Watching Sumia as she takes the skies, that grin just remains as the axe-fighter predictably remains on the ground. Seeing that javelin coming her way, she attempts to dodge it entirely and barely fails at that, the javelin grazing by her side and drawing another spurt of blood along with another sharp hiss of pain.

     "Clever... But not clever enough!" She takes a moment to let her magical energy circulate about to keep the bleeding from both wounds from getting too bad, then pumps energy into her anklets. Moments later, she's lifting off and headed straight for Sumia! She's definitely relying more on speed than skill with her own flight, though, attempting to charge at her as fast as possible with the shield braced in front of her.
Sumia     Sumia blinks, holding steady in the air as Sanary takes flight. "No one told me she could fly without a pegasus..." she mutters, the lack of doing anything allows the shield to contact directly sending her and her pegasus back a ways in the air. She shakes her head and squints her eyes... "Ho... how is she doing that?" she mutters the question a few times before shaking her head again.

    "I don't know how you did it, maybe with Plegian magic... but I'm going to stop it!" She kicks her pegasus into gear and makes a charge of her own in mid air, spear lowered as if she is intending to skewer Sanary with the twin bladed weapon, only to pull up and present the Pegasus' hooves towards her.

    With a mighty kick, the Pegasus rears up and attempts to slam those hooves into Sanary's back to put her down back to the earth! "Down, and stay down!"
Bahu Bahu stands on the tops of his feet, clutching the microphone close to his face. "Whoa, they can both fly! Sanary strikes back with an axe strike of her own that hits in the leg, but Sumia goes for yet another stab! It grazes Sanary again, but doesn't look like it did much! And from there, Sanary takes flight and charges Sanary and it's a pretty good hit, sending her back. Sumia charges once moore, using her flying horse? Whoa...horses...Using her flying horse to trample Sanary mid air! Flying is so cool..."
Sanary Rondel      Despite being pleased with that direct hit, Sanary's still having quite a bit of trouble regulating her movements. Flying in a straight line is easy, but regaining her balance after impact? Not so much.

     "That's-frickin'... That's for me to know and you to figure out, Ylissean... Ylissean!" The healer zips this way and that, almost looking as if she actually knows what she's doing while essentially just tumbling around in the air and doing confusing midair spirals. Luckily enough, one of those spirals actually whirls her around just in time to see those giant hooves coming right at her, and she's able to bring her shield up in time to not have her chest caved in!

     "Rrgh! Ah.. N-nice horse you got there. Er. Pegasus. I don't wanna hurt her, but if she keeps this up...!" The healer wobbles a bit as she hovers back from the impact, then focuses another spurt of magical energy to send her right back at Sumia with the axe swung at her spear arm this time.
Sumia     The axe scrapes along the armor and dents it, the impact making her drop a javelin she had prepared for her next strike, the short spear sticks up straight in the ground as it lands and Sumia holds her arm with her other, "Better for the Halidom than you, Plegian. Or is barbarism the best thing you can do aside from fly without wings?!" As Sanary's close enough from that axe hit, she twirls her spear around in one hand and tries to smack her over the head with the blunt end.

    "Get away and get back on the ground, Plegian! The skies are reserved for those who can master their mount!" and with another twirl she rears back and tries stabbng Sanary's arm this time, "I thank you for your help from a while back but that's the only thanks you'll get for now!"

    After that last stab attempt, she dives back to the ground with a heavy hoof clopping on the stone tiles, readying her spear again. She's breathing slightly heavy, it's her first real combat against another person in a long time...
Bahu Bahu cranes his head up to watch the battle. "The mid air clash is pretty sweet! Sanary raises her shield to block the fat horseshoes from trampling her and swings her axe at Sumia's arm, hitting the armor. Sumia returns fire with a staff smack to the head! The battle is intense and full of full of heats as passion fills the air! ...Wait. Other way around. Passionate Battle with heated words!"
Sanary Rondel      Sanary's luck in avoiding attacks in the air doesn't last forever, and Sumia's spear hits her cleanly in the head! Even with the padded armor on, it's still enough to daze the axe cleric, and she starts dropping from the sky! To make matters worse, that stab hits her square in the shield arm rather than the shield itself, and it drops out of Sanary's hand. She does right herself at the last moment before touching down, though, landing with a rather dramatic stomping of her feet instead of getting her head planted right into the arena floor.

     And then it's time to tap into some of that raw, unfiltered anger from many months ago. "Tch... You Halid-whatevers are all the same. Don't look down on us just because we're idiots!" She resists cracking a grin at that, trying to find another source of vitriol even as she aims her gunaxe at Sumia and lets that healing energy work on getting her shield arm back into fighting condition.

     "If you want to make this a ground fight, then fine. But I don't need a mount to fly for me!" That angry facade cracks momentarily as the slightest of grins appears, although it's all but hidden by a sudden volley of flame shells erupting from the gunaxe's barrel.
Sumia     Tch, she's still up but hey, her shield's not there which is good. The pegasus scrapes the ground with her hoof and leans down, "And you yourself admit to being idiots." she shakes her head, "Can't even say Halidom right. Stay back on your own continent." she chides as the gun axe goes off, the flame shots ping around her and end up knocking her off her steed and onto the ground, the pegasus moving in front of Sumia to prevent more shots from hitting her as she moves to pick herself up.

    "What in the world is that weapon?" she stands there a bit frightened but she still has her spear in front of her. The pegasus moves away and she starts charging the axe gun user, trying to bury that spear inside of her. "Here! We'll do a ground fight!"
Sanary Rondel      That one actually stung a bit. If Sanary didn't know any better, then this pegasus knight really had it in for her! That, or it's just Sumia's efforts to put on a good show. Whatever the case is, the healer does stop firing once the pegasus moves to cover the rider from further shots.

     "Well, what is it, then? Halidomean? Halidean? So-oo sorry we never learned what kinds of words you made up to make yourselves feel better!" She gives her injured arm a few experimental whacks to see if it's in shape to get that shield yet, but she doesn't get the opportunity to do so just yet as Sumia comes charging at her with that spear, landing a clean stab into the same arm!

     Just as planned. Well, aside from the horrible stabbing pain and excessive bleeding part. Still, drawing the spear-user into close-ranged ground combat is just what Sanary wanted, and she tries to use that to her advantage as she rushes forward with a headbutt aimed at (what else) Sumia's face!
Bahu Bahu 's eyes grow huge while watching the proceedings. "We're going down! Sanary looks a little stunned after taking both of those hits and drops from the sky, but her axe totally has a secret weapons! It shoots fire! Sumia looks surprised as the shots hit her, knocking her off of her horse and hittin the ground! They throw around some more words before Sanary totally just walks up and headbutts Sumia in the face! Brutal! Also awesome!"
Sumia     The headbutt catches Sumia off guard once more and she backs off just a bit. "HALIDOM!" she shouts at the Plegian, "And of course you barbarians would think that we use those words to make us feel better. At least we have the protection of Naga under us to deal with people like you!" And with a leap, Sumia brings her spear up to try and jump stab the axe wielder!

    "What are you, Confederate too?!" she shouts, backing away a bit after landing, "What's next? going to invade the Halidom? Bring down our Exalted lady. Or are you going to go back and worship the Fell Dragon?" she frowns and pulls her spear back, "Why... why won't you consider a good life and turn from the Fell Dragon's embrace, Sanary. You know that it would be better for you!"
Sanary Rondel      "I know it's Halidom! Bad idea.. Agh." Sanary backs off as well, taking a moment to shake off the cobwebs from that headbutt. "But what's the right word for the people, then? Even you've gotta understand that much!" Taking a calculated risk, she uses the short respite to try and get her shield back.

     That, of course, leads to getting stabbed in the shield arm /again/. She even utters a sharp cry at that one, the adrenaline and magical energy being the only things keeping her from letting loose that food she ate earlier. "Bad idea...! Geh. You have your Naga, and we've got...!" She pauses again, partially to steel herself, and partially to try and keep up the act.

     "... We don't need lousy dragons to fight our battles for us!" Maybe she didn't quite keep the pious Plegian act up, but even she has her limits. "And.. Yeah, I am a Confederate! That... Uh. You didn't know that?" Sanary actually stares at Sumia blankly for a second there, although the blood running down her mangled arm does snap her back to reality moments later, and she stomps once before taking a fire-infused swing upwardsat the spear-maiden's spear-arm.

     "Maybe the nobles want that, but commoners like me... We're just trying to live our own ways without getting dragged into your d-uh. Sword waving contests!" Gotta keep it PG for the kids, even with all that blood flying around.
Sumia     "Naga inspires us, not fight for us." she comments, looking towards the sky, "She's our hope and our faith and defense if fyou ever..." as she turns back to Sanary and makes a yell of pain as her spear arm is cut into! The blood drips on that axe and Sumia looks angry.. well as angry as a lady can be..

    She moves her spear to her other arm and pants hard, staring at the Plegian. "I'm going finish this." as she rushes forth and she brings her other arm with the spear up to bear before she makes a hooked punch with her injured arm, trying to let the gauntlet make a point of pain. "Commoner, sure..." she mutters while close, "No, I didn't know that but I do now... and I'll be making note of it in the future!"

    Sumia brings her gauntleted arm back up for one more swing and slowly backs away.
Bahu Bahu fist pumps energetically from his tiny corner of the ring. "Nice! The headbutt connects, with Sumia getting pushed back. She comes back tho, stabbing Sanary in that same arm again! Sanary is super strong though, so she takes it and dishes out a uppercut, e me-punch, right into Sumia's arm, but that doesn't stop her! Sumia raises her hand and swings it back, trying to knock Sanary's light's out! It's turnin into a boxing match!"
Sanary Rondel      "As does Grimleal for... Some of... Us." Sanary actually falters a bit as she says that, looking considerably more uncomfortable than she has throughout this entire battle. Yes, even more uncomfortable than she was with the spear going into the same arm again. Bad memories, perhaps?

     The axe cleric does find her second wind, however, as that slightly crazed grin returns to her face not long after. (She's getting better at it, too!) "Heh... Finishing so soon? Well, if that's what the audience wa-"As much as she's getting into the act, it's also leaving quite a few gaps in Sanary's defenses if the pain coursing through her arm wasn't already. Case in point: She takes the first punch square in the jaw, and she staggers back once more to narrowly evade that second one (and also spit out a tooth).

     And yet, that grin remains as the Plegian rests her hand over her uncovered/only eye. "Finishing it, huh? That wasn't your best shot, was it? I'll just.. I'll just have to show you mine, then!" Stepping back again with quite a bit more blood coming out of her mouth, the healer makes a show of clenching her face as if she's in pain, all while channelling energy into her eye.

     "Flames of the howling abyss, heed my call!" Once enough energy is gathered, she brings her hand back down dramatically and lets loose a heat beam from her eye at Sumia, creating a sudden explosion wherever that shot finally strikes!
Sumia     "That had to strike your emotions..." she whispers, backing up a bit more. "No, that wasn't my best shot... I can do better." she states only perking slightly when Sanary makes her little chant. "What in Naga?!" she shouts before the explosion wracks her location and sends her flying back and off the stone field, crashing into the grass below! Her armor's cracked and her spear arm is wounded, her other arm is in pain and she's barely standing at this point.

    She slowly crawls up on the ring and coughs hard, spitting out some blood from the many wounds she's taken from that explosion. "Nnngh, Naga... if you can hear me. Grant me the strength to win. Grant me the strength to beat this Plegian!"

    She pulls out a Javelin from her mount's pack and uses that to finish standing up then proceeds to point the tip at her. "This is for the Halidom, Sanary! This is for Landon! This is for the Union! I will prevail here!" she starts running forward, javelin in hand, her face wracked with pain and just before she makes it... she trips and goes into an uncontrollable flight straight into Sanary!
Sanary Rondel      That... Might have been going a little overboard, but it actually hit! Although Sanary's face maintains that crazed grin, a more observant eye (dammit Kilik) would notice that she's actually more giddy about that than anything else. It's not every day she gets to use that eye laser, after all!

     "Naga this, Naga that. If you need inspiration, look into your own heart, Sumia!" Spitting out another tooth as she readies herself for Sumia's next attack, the axe cleric starting to grin genuinely at the Pegasus Knight's resolve. She prepares herself for the attack that is to come, then...

     ... Stares in disbelief as Sumia trips and comes barrelling right at her instead. If nothing else, there's definitely a lot of speed in that move, and it's fast enough that she's caught completely off-guard with that impromptu headbutt torpedo!

     At least she's not getting hit in the shield arm /again/. Instead, she just gets hit right in the face with another face and topples backwards, losing her grip on the axe in the process. She doesn't go down alone, however, reaching up instinctively to catch the pegasus-less knight around the waist!

     Of course, fighting for so long and taking so many hits that only one arm is actually working does make it hard to hold Sumia in midair with just one arm. To that end, Sanary just ends up falling flat on her back with the knight right on top of her. How... Awkward. "... Yeah, I think I'm done for today. Uh. Good fight, though!"
Bahu Bahu 's jumps up and down a little bit as the match continues. "Sanary takes the hit to the face before...doing an eye thing and unleashing a huge explosion! I can't even see anything it's so big! But...but Sumia's still standing! I mean...she's not blown to bits or anything but that did look like it hurt. She...she trips? Oh...oh no."

He watches in awe as the awkward attack manages to hit and sends them both to the ground. "...that was the best trip attack ever! Sumia trips at a high speed right into Sanary and...did I hear that right? Has Sanary thrown in the towel?"
Sumia     The javelin is dropped during the tripped attempt at trying to ram it into that shield arm, but instead finishes it up with a trip and a crash into her opponent, leaving the two in a really... awkward position. "U...um... Y.. yeah, that's that's enough for both of us." a pause, "G.. good fight. Where in Naga's name did you learn how to fly on your own? And use that thing in your eye..."

    She rolls off of Sanary, "Does this mean you're giving up?" she questions, "If so, I wish you luck the next time we meet." she gives a brief smile, breathing hard while she looks at the sky, "You know, I never expected to see a Plegian fight that well. Good job..."

    Sumia pauses slightly, "I hope Landon didn't see that..."
Bahu Bahu , noting that the fight was over once they were in earshot skidaddles over towards the two women, and after gauging Sumia's height, he leaps directly on Sumia's head with the microphone in his hand and taps her on the side of the ear, whispering. "Hey-hey-hey. Put your hand up in the air. Like the fist thing. I wanna do a thing."
Sumia     Sumia blinks slightly, looking up at the thing upon her head, "Um..." she puts her fist into the air, wincing some at having to d as such. "Li... like this?" she questions, "A... and why are you on my head?"
Sanary Rondel      So awkward. Not that Sanary's complaining or anything, but... Well, there might be kids watching! She lets Sumia off with a light pat on her uninjured shoulder, wincing slightly as she sits up and starts to circulate healing magic between the both of them slowly in a faint green light. "Yeeeah... Um. Real good fight! It's... Let's just say I know a really good R&D person."

     Laughing lightly, she shakes her head at that latter question while following that gaze to the sky. "Let's call it a draw. The fighting mood's kinda gone now, anyway. Especially after..." Subject change. Subject change! "Didn't expect to see a Ylissean noble fight like you did, either. Er. Last time and this time, I mean. Definitely learned a lot today."

     She does raise an eyebrow slightly at the mention of Landon, however, an impish grin crossing the healer's face. "Why? Think he'll get jealous?" Thankfully, Sanary doesn't linger on that for too long before looking over at Bahu with the same raised eyebrow (and a raised fist as directed). "Er. Like this?"
Bahu Bahu reaches over to grab Sumia's hand and holds it up, similarly to how many announcers on TV might have done it. He keeps his other hand on that microphone though.

"And the WINNAR by...uh...TOWEL THROWING IS SUMIA, THE PEGASUS KNIGHT! And I am on your head because I am short, you are way too tall and you won! Congratlations! That was a great fight and I hope that people came out and had a really good time!"
